I listened to the audiobook and found it be an engaging listen about the life of Chelsea Manning read by Chelsea herself. Military Intelligence, Gender diversity, hacking, the thought process of releasing classified documents to the public, horrendous conditions while imprisoned and making a difference are key themes. ( ) Chelsea Mannings selvbiografi. En blanding af hendes oplevelser og overvejelser op til den velfortjente outing af USA's militær som inkompetent arbitrært morderisk, og hendes kamp for at få lov til at leve som sig selv. Jeg måtte holde en lang pause 2/3 inde i bogen, hvor hun først havde beskrevet en barndom fuld af svigt, så en forfærdelig tid som soldat i Irak, og skrev at nu begyndte den værste tid i hendes liv. Et udsagn, den sidste tredjedel fuldt ud levede op til. 2022. Chelsea Manning’s harrowing memoir of growing up queer in Oklahoma, living in her car, army life under Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, releasing classified information to wikileaks, jail, solitary confinement, court martial, and her battle for gender-affirming health care in military jail. Chelsea is incredibly smart and it really comes through. Really made me thankful that I grew up queer in a blue state. I’m 22 years older than she is and my coming out in Massachusetts, around the time she was born was easier than hers in so many ways. The stuff about security and surveillance is very informative. Big brother is definitely watching. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

While working as an intelligence analyst in Iraq for the United States Army in 2010, Chelsea Manning disclosed more than seven hundred thousand classified military and diplomatic records that she had smuggled out of the country on the memory card of her digital camera. In 2011 she was charged with twenty-two counts related to the unauthorized possession and distribution of classified military records, and in 2013 she was sentenced to thirty-five years in military prison. The day after her conviction, Manning declared her gender identity as a woman and began to transition, seeking hormones through the federal court system. In 2017, President Barack Obama commuted her sentence and she was released from prison. Manning recounts how her pleas for increased institutional transparency and government accountability took place alongside a fight to defend her rights as a trans woman. Manning details the challenges of her childhood and adolescence as a naive, computer-savvy kid, what drew her to the military, and the fierce pride she has about the work she does. This powerful, observant memoir will stand as one of the definitive testaments of our digital, information-driven age. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
